Bobby Epic, to whom this avatar belongs, tells us there's a High Tide Warning for South Florida today.

Serious football fans don't need much of a reason to brag. Give them a season that ends with a national championship game, and they'll really go wild.

You needn't wade far into the AL.com comments to find the Alabama football fan smack talk being passed around on championship Monday. Enjoy this sampling, and add your (rule-abiding) comment below.

Bobby Epic:The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued a High Tide
Warning for parts of Southern Florida around Sun Life Stadium in Miami
starting today on January 7th, 2013. People who are of short stature, in
particular Leprechauns should take extreme Caution, possibly avoiding
the area all together.

BamaMoose:Once again, BAMA COMMANDS THE NATIONAL STAGE! THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, CENTER OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL UNIVERSE!

tide1957:For awhile, hearing everything under the
sun about Notre Dame was aggravating, until it became funny. I mean
charm and destiny wins football games! Really? Notre Dame has good
football players and all breaks broke their way this season. Alabama
has outstanding football players too, and more of them. All breaks did
not go Alabama's way this year, they earned everything they got.
Georgia 'just knew' they were going to win the SEC Championship and they
played 'lights out' trying! Georgia played their best for the entire
game, but in the end it wasn't enough. Alabama will play like that
again in the National Championship game, if Notre Dame can keep up, it
will be a good game, but Alabama knows how to win, they don't depend on
'charm,' 'breaks,' or 'destiny' they depend on good football players
playing every down. That's what winds football games and championships!
ROLL TIDE! All of the pundits pipe-dreams are going up in smoke!
